  • Local Heritage Register
    Explanatory Notes for Development Assessment Local Heritage Register Amendments to the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, Schedule 8 and 8A of the Integrated Planning Act 1997, the Integrated Planning Regulation 1998, and the Queensland Heritage Regulation 2003 became effective on 31 March 2008. All aspects of development on a Local Heritage Place in a Local Heritage Register under the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, are code assessable (unless City Plan 2000 requires impact assessment). Those code assessable applications are assessed against the Code in Schedule 2 of the Queensland Heritage Regulation 2003 and the Heritage Place Code in City Plan 2000. City Plan 2000 makes some aspects of development impact assessable on the site of a Heritage Place and a Heritage Precinct. Heritage Places and Heritage Precincts are identified in the Heritage Register of the Heritage Register Planning Scheme Policy in City Plan 2000. Those impact assessable applications are assessed under the relevant provisions of the City Plan 2000. All aspects of development on land adjoining a Heritage Place or Heritage Precinct are assessable solely under City Plan 2000. ********** For building work on a Local Heritage Place assessable against the Building Act 1975, the Local Government is a concurrence agency. ********** Amendments to the Local Heritage Register are located at the back of the Register.

  • Lessons from Chile for Allocating Indigenous Water Rights in Australia
    1130 UNSW Law Journal Volume 40(3) 9 BEYOND RECOGNITION: LESSONS FROM CHILE FOR ALLOCATING INDIGENOUS WATER RIGHTS IN AUSTRALIA ELIZABETH MACPHERSON I INTRODUCTION Australian water law frameworks, which authorise water use, have historically excluded indigenous people. Indigenous land now exceeds 30 per cent of the total land in Australia.1 Yet indigenous water use rights are estimated at less than 0.01 per cent of total Australian water allocations.2 In the limited situations where water law frameworks have engaged with indigenous interests, they typically conceive of such interests as falling outside of the consumptive pool’3 of water applicable to commercial uses associated with activities on land such as irrigation, agriculture, industry or tourism.4 The idea that states must recognise’ indigenous groups, and their ongoing rights to land and resources, has become the central claim of the international indigenous rights movement. 5 Claims for recognition of indigenous land and resource rights are the logical outcome of demands for indigenous rights based on ideas of reparative’ justice.6 The colonisers failed to recognise indigenous rights to land and resources at the acquisition of sovereignty, the argument goes, and the remedy is to recognise those rights now.
